    I was wondering if winners were light and if the weight was coming down through the years, but then saw this:

    Lance Armstrong: (7 time champion, 1999-2005) 5'10", 170 lbs.
    Christian Vande Velde: 6'1", 150 lbs.
    Levi Leipheimer: 5'8", 136 lbs.
    Carlos Sastre (2008 Tour champion) 5/8", 130 lbs.
    Denis Menchov (2009 Giro de Italia champion) 5'11", 141 lbs.
    Cadel Evans (2nd place in 2008 Tour) 5'8", 130 lbs.
    Alberto Contador (Winner of 2007 Tour) 5/9", 140 lbs.
    Ivan Basso (perennial contender, except when busted for drug use) 6'0", 154 lbs.
    Mark Cavendish (multiple spring stage winner, 2008) 5'9", 150 lbs.
    Lance Armstrong 170lbs! Bang goes that speculation.

    But the Wiki may offer salvation :
    Weight 71 kg (157 lb)
    So which is it?

    Have any of the heavier riders made it to the top yet?
